The Germany international is still struggling to break into Jose Mourinho’s side, despite recovering from his complete and utter omission from the Manchester United squad at the beginning of the season. However, with Morgan Schneiderlin now moved on to Everton, could the World Cup winner now have a place at Old Trafford?

2. Marouane Fellaini (29%)

Despite coming into his own under Jose Mourinho as a defensive midfielder, many Manchester United supporters still feel the Belgium international is not quite the type of player their team needs. Normally preferring to play further forward as a box-to-box midfielder, Fellaini’s lack of pace and creative ability has seen him fall down the pecking order at Old Trafford, and clearly some United fans feel it’s time to move on.

1. Memphis Depay (43%)

43% of Manchester United fans got their wish recently, after the Dutch midfielder Memphis Depay departed for French giants Lyon. The winger, who joined United from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, has never really managed to take off at Old Trafford, seemingly weighed down by the heavy expectation of that number 7 shirt. With a chance to reinvent himself in France though, this might not be the last we hear of Memphis Depay.
